I'm having problems with a Charge Masher chain. To be honest, I'm a bit annoyed with it. Looked nice out of the box but after a couple of rides, most of the black has come off, and after a ride in the rain yesterday, a bit of rust appeared.
It rattles quite a bit, which I don't mind too much, but now it's started squeaking a lot too.
Has anyone had similar problems with the Masher? Does it quieten down after a while?
Also, how tight is too tight?
I'll wax lube it to stop the rust and hope this helps. Also, will get a new sprocket - the one on there at the moment was a cheapo one off ebay. Any recommendations for a quality mid-range one?
